The idea here is to compare each sample interview on staging in the digital collections with its corresponding microsite record. If everything looks good, we’ll run the import in production during the first week of May.
Careful: don’t actually change the metadata in response to this test, as it will be overwritten anyway.
Here’s a spreadsheet for notes:
Sample records:
Interviews with multiple interviewees: Cole/Verma, Aitchisons, …
Same person interviewed more than once: Lederberg 1, Lederberg 2, Hackerman 1, Hackerman 2, Hackerman 3, Hackerman 4.
Interviews with multiple interviewers: Hay, Ehrlich, …
...
Other outliers: Schoemaker, …
